It's hard to imagine anyone calling Dr. Stephen Hawking a Christian fundamentalist. He is a pre-eminent theoretical physicist. (I am a less-than-eminent psychologist with a great deal of skepticism about religious and scientific dogma).
Hawking pointed out that the "big bang" theory central to evolutionary thought could only be true if we contradict all known laws of physics. He also pointed out that extremely minute changes in the weights of different atoms would have made the carbon molecule impossible. In other words, human life could not exist.
Other scientists have pointed out that the theory of evolution cannot explain the development of the human neuron. The point is that evolution/mutation likely plays a role in species development, but there are huge gaps that the theory cannot explain.
The other point is that it seems intellectually dishonest to discredit Intelligent Design as an alternative or even enhancement to the theory of evolution.
Hello patrick.
ID isn't a scientific alternative and therefore needs no discrediting.
BB theory has nothing to do with evolution.
Do you have a source for those statements of Hawking?
No, he did not. Hawking is a physicist and therefore knows there is no such thing as a 'carbon molecule'. I therefore conclude that you have misunderstood Hawking. I hope you appreciate that I am being generous to you in coming to this conclusion.
Hawking is a hardcore atheist who mocks those who believe in God. It's a well known fact.
Scientific theory assumes that everything is made by natural causes and does not allow for alternate explainations. There is a culture of hatred towards religion by many in the scientific field. Science and religion can co-exist, but many on both sides won't allow it.
